[E 66-70] Emergency to Emergent

Today: A big Voyager personnel. THE ENTRIES: [66] Emergency Procedure Alpha 2 [67] emergency hand actuator [68] Emergency Medical Hologram [69] emergency transporter armbands (no card required) [70] emergent life-form holodeck sequence Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [66] This doesn't repair damage. It simply allows you to ignore attribute minuses listed on damage markers until the countdown ends (if the required personnel are present). Source: "Disaster" [67] Personnel can be "reported through" Devidian Door, Ready Room Door, Arch, etc. Source: "Year of Hell" [68] The Doctor IS a persona of the EMH, but can coexist with other universal EMHs. You just can't persona switch them all (he is unique). You CAN persona-switch him with an EMH at one location, and have him pop up at another EMH's location, however (in the Delta Quadrant). Decipher made its own The Doctor for the Voyager expansion, included for comparison. Source: "Ca...

[E 61-65] Elway Theorem to Emergence

Today: The card based on the episode the expansion is named after... THE ENTRIES: [61] Elway Theorem [62] EM base frenquencies [63] "Emanations" [64] Emerald Wading Pool [65] "Emergence" NOTES:  [61] Devidian Door still has to be shown next turn. Source: "The High Ground" [62] Errata for Remodulation is hereby revoked. Adapt: Neutralize Weapon is now a separate card from Adapt: Modulate Shields.  If played on a Bat'leth for example, all Bat'leths here are discarded. Source: "Q Who" [63] The Harry Kim you discard is present. Source: "Emanations" [64] "Here" is the Holodeck site itself (once it comes out) or any ship or facility with a Holodeck. With ship sites, Rogue Borg may be played on any site on the ship, and walk like personnel from site to site. Source: Referenced in "Conundrum" [65] The dilemma is only discarded if no Holodeck is initially present OR if the requirements are met. Source: "Emergence...

[E 56-60] Eliann to Elrem

Today: Another settler of Kataan. THE ENTRIES: [56] Eliann [57] Eline [58] elogium [59] "Elogium" [60] Elrem NOTES:  [56] Guessing at her abilities, but I've made her one of the architects of the retrovirus. Source: "Favorite Son" [57] Other natives of Kataan include Kamin and both Batails. She joins the crew of a ship when she is encountered. Source: "The Inner Life" [58] Easy points? Only if your opponent lets you have them. You are limited in the number of times you can play this event to one per female Ocampa you have in play. Mitral Sac is a Broken Link. Source: "Elogium" [59] As with Airlock, androids and drones survive the void of space. Source: I chose this for "Elogium" because I confused the swarm of creatures from this episode and the ships in "The Swarm", which used such a tactic, one that became a common sight on DS9. So the pic is actually from "Valiant". [60] Source: Referenced in "Dreadnought...

[E 51-55] Element to Elgol-Red

Today: A new Incoming Message, if you can read it... THE ENTRIES: [51] element 247 [52] Elementary Temporal Mechanics [53] "Elementary, Dear Data" [54] Elemspur Detention Center [55] Elgol-Red NOTES:  [51] Inspired more by the word "element" than anything else, it's about the First Contact line "...introduce an unstable element". Sneakier than Brainwashing, you just never know when that previously captured personnel will turn out to be a double-agent. It'll also work on personnel once controlled by Alien Parasites and Neural Servo Device, or somehow freed from assimilation. Even if the Incident is discarded at countdown's end, it has a permanent (once in play) way of making the personnel untrustworthy (no Interrupts there). It's a perfect place to play your own Interrupts without fear of Amanda Rogers, and it will keep shape-shifters from using their tricks. Source: Referenced in "Emanations"; pic from Star Trek: First Contact [52...

[E 46-50] Electrodynamic to Electroplasma

MURDERRRRRR???? THE ENTRIES: [46] electrodynamic turbulence [47] electrophoretic activity [48] electrophoretic analysis [49] eletroplasma system taps [50] electroplasma system NOTES:  [46] That's two flips of the battle-bridge side-deck if one is active, so the shuttle may well be destroyed with all hands. The shuttle may only take off if a card permits it in any case. Source: "Innocence" [47] The Barclay's is included because this Encyclopedia entry mentions that episode. You may download less than the total number of personnel lost if you don't have enough ANIMALs. Source: "Elogium" [48] Since an Objective doesn't play at interrupt speed, "just killed" means in the last turn. Remember who did kill your personnel. If it died because of the total STRENGTH of an opposing Away Team (at the end of a battle), you may choose who was responsible. If it died because of a damage counter, the opposing ship's matching commander or any leader is r...

[E 41-45] Elanian to Electroceramic

Today: A rare Kazon card. THE ENTRIES: [41] Elanian singer stone [42] Elaysians [43] Elbrun, Tam (no card required) [44] Elected One, The [45] electroceramic Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [41] The artifact doesn't need your personnel present to stop an android. Source: "Pen Pals" [42] +3 STRENGTH for personnel with zero-G training (Melora will be in Broken Links). I know this could be played at a space location, but most space action takes place inside ships, not on their hulls. Source: "Melora" [43] The Basic Set had us covered. [44] Discard if no males in Away Team. Source: "Angel One" [45] Two [flips] from opponent's battle bridge if the Kazon shuttle actually rams a ship. Normally, the ramming "weapons" would be equal to 6, but with attribute enhancers, it could go much higher. Why this card here? Well, there are four separate ships under the Kazon ship entry, and I thought it was a shame to only do one. The fact that...

[E 36-40] El-Aurians to Elani

Casting Brent Spiner in a new role... THE ENTRIES: [36] El-Aurians [37] El-Baz, Shuttlepod [38] el-Mitra Exchange [39] Elamos the Magnificent [40] Elani NOTES:  [36] If a dilemma requires 2 SCIENCE, for example, you can only remove one of the SCIENCE requirements. If SCIENCE and Exobiology, you may remove either. If CUNNING>30 and INTEGRITY>30, you may make one of them >20. Source: "Rivals" [37] I've decided to give shuttlepods a limit on passengers. If the AU Doorway is ever closed, the existing El-Bazes keep co-existing, but no others may be reported. Source: "Time Squared" [38] Say an Interrupt says "nullified by Countermanda", and your opponent uses that card to nullify yours, you may reveal the event and score 5 points. If, on the other hand, they used Amanda Rogers to nullify your Interrupt, you don't score any points, but they lose 5. Source: "Conundrum" [39] Missions that require Youth (Investigate Legend, Risa Shore Leav...

[E 31-35] EJ7 Interlock to El-Adrel

Today: Some Tamarian cards...  THE ENTRIES: [31] EJ7 interlock [32] Ekina [33] Ekoria [34] El-Adrel IV [35] El-Adrel system NOTES:  [31] Reopens Airlock, Spacedoor, Secret Compartment and Holding Cell Door (the doorways that play on a ship or facility). The first three can enjoy the second function. Your treacherous SECURITY can throw two people out an Airlock, you can report two ships through the Spacedoor, and a good probe on the Compartment lets you get up to 4 Equipment cards. Source: "In the Hands of the Prophets" [32] Mercenaries are listed as such in their lore. Source: "Invasive Procedures" [33] Worth points even if your opponent solved the mission. Source: "The Quickening" [34] A little Tamarian flavor to the lore. It's not a planet/space, but you still need a ship in orbit. Note that personnel aboard the ship will not experience any dilemmas. NA counts as an affiliation in this case. Source: "Darmok" [35] Both ships do not encounter...

[E 26-30] Eggs to Einstein

Another egg order is up... THE ENTRIES: [26] eggs with bacon and corned beef hash [27] eichner radiation [28] eidetic memory [29] Eiger (no card required) [30] Einstein, Albert (no card required) NOTES:  [26] By giving the bonus to O'Briens instead of Miles, the card will work for the Romulan hologram and O'Brien Founder. Female O'Briens currently only include Keiko, but let's put Molly to the list as a Broken Link. Source: "The Assignment" [27] All diseases and plagues are DNA-related if you're wondering. If a dilemma is passed, it is discarded normally, of course. Source: "The Child" [28] Unique, that is to say, you can't boost your time with multiple Eidetic Memories, but you can by stopping more than one personnel from the selected species. Players might take notes about dilemma combos, for example, or cards in their draw decks or side-decks. A later card might let you actually TAKE notes during a game, but for now, that option isn't ...

[E 21-25] Edouard to Eggs Benedict

Today: Another Eddie? THE ENTRIES: [21] Edouard [22] Edwell, Captain [23] Ee'Char [24] Egg [25] eggs benedict NOTES:  [21] Café des Artistes and Champs Élysées are Program cards in AtoZ. Champs Élysées  Source: "We'll Always Have Paris" [22] I don't think we had a universal Starfleet captain. You cannot choose any classification as his second skill. Source: Referenced in "Starship Mine" [23] He can nullify the effects but not the requirements, so watch out. If he's stopped because Law x2 isn't present, I'm afraid he can't stop a personnel from dying (if that's the probe result). He can cure a personnel's loss of skills (if THAT's the probe result) even at a later date by being present with the affected personnel. Source: "Hard Time" [24] I couldn't just say a star because those little white points of light are on almost every mission card. What I mean here is cards like Test Mission, Study Stellar Collision and e...

[E 16-20] Eddie to Edosian

A quick couple... THE ENTRIES: [16] Eddie [17] Eddington, Michael (no card required) [18] Edo god (no card required) [19] Edo [20] Edosian orchid (no card required) NOTES:  [16] You can force your own hologram to return to hand. You don't have to report the holographic Equipment with the Dixon Hill personnel, but you can't report WITHOUT a personnel. More than one Eddie? The ability becomes cumulative. Source: Star Trek: First Contact [17] Exists as a personnel card in The Dominion expansion. [18] Exists as a ship in the Q-Continuum expansion. [19] Both players can report a spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend to that location, as listed in the stopped personnel's lore (not in the downloaded personnel's lore). It represents a jealous lover breaking up the hug. :-) Source: "Justice" [20] My 90s self seems to have decided everything important here was covered on Plain, Simple Garak, back in the Deep Space Nine expansion. Who am I to argue? Next up: Another Eddie? Cards: ...
